More than 1 foot of snow has piled up in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley as state police scramble to respond to hundreds of crashes and utility crews worked to restore power to more than 200,000 customers

LMAO at the pic. This system was definitely a bust for DC for sure. Hope people enjoyed their day off from school and work. What really sucks they called in power crews from Georgia and Alabama to help restore power in the metro DC area. I saw one live interview yesterday with the power company spokeswoman for that area talking about all the crews they brought in to help restore power when all this heavy wet snow moved in. They asked her what the current outage numbers were, and she said 1. LMAO. Oh well, good exercise I guess. Was a very tricky forecast.

Schools of sharks, returning north after migrating south for the winter, are riding the waves searching for food. In a research flight on Tuesday from the Boca Raton Inlet to the Jupiter Inlet, over 15,000 sharks less than 200 yards from shore. That’s 1,000 sharks per square kilometer. If you were a swimmer, you would probably be within 60 feet of a shark.
